no gas

Post by suerica » Sat Jun 06, 2015 1:55 pm

Out for picnic last week with Bongo and family but unable to make a cup of coffee as no gas getting through to either burner. There is about half a bottle of gas left. I have cleaned the burners, still nothing. Anyone any ideas that do not involve getting a gas engineer?

You have obviously turned the gas on at the cylinder, no kinks in the hose ?

Do you have a gas valve close to the cooker which someone has turned off for you
Does the cooker have a lift up lid with shut off valve , and is this opening / lifting when lid last opend
Are you certain you have gas in the bottle ?

Are you keeping the knob on the burner pushed in to allow the gas to come through? It can take a few seconds.

Thanks for tips. It turned out to be a faulty valve.
